How are these alignment specs?

Im too lazy to post my before but I got a front camber kit to reduce tire wear/scalloping in the tires. Just had it put on with new tires and I've never had the car drive better before! Here are the alignment specs:

Left front
Camber: -0.3
caster-8.3
toe-0.5

Right front
camber: -0.3
caster-8.7
toe-0.4

Left rear
camber: -1.4
toe-0.11

Right rear
camber: -1.5
toe- .012

I know jack about cars just very basics but how does this look? Im not into this car for performance so if the specs take away from that I dont care. I just dont want my tires scalloping or feathering after a few thousand miles again. Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong... but from what I understand, for your purposes, you want a slight negative camber, and slight toe, as your car's suspension will flex when you drive and give you more positive camber and toe when you are driving. I would think that as long as you are in oem spec you should be fine.

specs look decent overall. your front toe is out of range though. OEM specs for your year can be found here:

thanks guys! How bad are they out? My guys did what they computer gave them. I just dont want my tires scalloping again and they did with a OEM alignment. That negative camber is what got me I think.

Toe eats tires faster than excessive negative camber..you should definitely get the toe in spec.
